Appraised values, not sale prices. Texas is a non-disclosure state, so sale prices are not public record. MLS-based figures cover listed sales but miss off-market and cash ones, and an appraisal-district value is not a market value. Every number here is a starting point, not an offer.

Where Kings Gate sits among Lubbock neighborhoods

What that means if you are selling here
Higher-value houses are the ones where a cash offer is least likely to be your best outcome, and we will tell you that before you spend time on us. Distinctive houses do not average well, the buyer pool is specific, and a direct offer on a property like this sits further below retail than it would on a standard house. A patient listing usually wins. Where we can genuinely help is a fast, certain, private closing when that matters more than the last few percent.

The roll puts most of the neighborhood on these streets: 96Th St, Miami Ave, 87Th St, 97Th St. If your address is not on that list but you are in Kings Gate, we still buy there — the list is the densest part, not the boundary.
